Hello, I’m Dr. Bree Wannamaker, a Licensed Professional Counselor & Supervisor, in South Carolina.  I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, clergy, helping professionals, and leaders find clarity, healing, peace, and purpose through therapy that is compassionate, practical, and tailored to their unique needs. I have approximately 15 years of clinical counseling experience and over a decade of supervising and mentoring counselors. I understand that life can bring seasons of stress, uncertainty, grief, relationship challenges, and personal transitions that can feel overwhelming. Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion, communication difficulties, career stress, loss, or significant life changes, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and empowered. My counseling approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Problem-Solving Therapy. I believe every individual possesses strengths and resilience, and my role is to help you identify those strengths while developing practical tools to overcome obstacles and create meaningful, lasting change. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that thoughtfully incorporates spiritual beliefs and values into the therapeutic process. I recognize that for many people, faith can be an important source of strength, healing, and hope during difficult times. In addition to providing individual and couples counseling, I offer support through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), clinical supervision for counseling professionals, and wellness-focused consultation services. My goal is to help clients move beyond simply surviving and toward thriving in their personal, relational, professional, and spiritual lives. Seeking support is a courageous step, and you do not have to walk through life's challenges alone. I would be honored to partner with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and overall well-being.

A few sentences that would capture some of myself would follow as such. Firstly, I would say that my approach comes from a perspective of embracing and affirming the struggles that one has, by ultimately claiming and using those struggles and difficulties within one's own life as a vantage point to help understand and navigate through life. I would say one challenge I find in not only my own life but within conversations with others and within sessions is to validate and confirm all of one's existence, especially those that are more difficult to affirm such as pain, suffering, hardships, mental health and physical health disorders. Secondly, I am by nature very curious and attentive when in the company of another within a therapeutic space and outside a session which has brought many perspectives within my life from existentialism, CBT, DBT therapy, and many other modalities. One ideal that I strive for within sessions is to ask questions in such a manner to allow the client's to explore and discover details and aspects of one's life that otherwise would be dormant and to allow for greater exploration of meaning and purpose. One quote that would describe my practice would be: "we live in a state of becoming, being is more immediate, simple and indeterminate, where becoming is open, more complex and dynamic."

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale—where you don’t have to have everything figured out, and where you can show up exactly as you are. I know that life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, depression, or intense emotions, and I’m passionate about helping clients feel supported as they work toward healing. Through evidence-based approaches like DBT, CBT, and CPT, I help adults make sense of their experiences, strengthen their coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. My hope is that our work together helps you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to the life you want to live.

I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy works best when it feels real, collaborative, and grounded in trust. I strive to create a space where clients can show up as they are, without judgment or pressure, and feel supported in exploring whatever they’re carrying.

Hi, I’m Michelle. If you feel overwhelmed, disorganized, stuck in procrastination, or frustrated that everyday tasks seem harder than they should, you’re not alone, and you’re not lazy or broken. I specialize in helping adults with ADHD, including those who are newly diagnosed, have lived with ADHD for years, or are beginning to wonder whether ADHD may explain some of their struggles. Together, we explore how ADHD may affect the way you think, feel, function, relate to others, and navigate everyday life. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and strengths-based. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, psychoeducation, and executive-functioning support to help reduce shame, increase self-understanding, and build practical tools that fit your life and the way your brain works. When appropriate, I may also incorporate EMDR to address distressing experiences, chronic shame, or negative beliefs that have developed through years of criticism, rejection, or feeling misunderstood. My work is also shaped by personal experience with ADHD, which has provided additional perspective alongside my professional training. This combination allows me to approach clients with both clinical expertise and an appreciation for the nuanced ways ADHD can affect daily life. My goal is to help you feel more confident, capable, and supported in creating a life that works with your brain rather than against it. For clients who would like to incorporate their faith into therapy, I also offer Christian counseling in a supportive and natural way.

Years ago, I found myself facing challenges that felt overwhelming. Working with an exceptional therapist helped me heal, grow, and create a life that looked very different from the one I had been living. That experience was so transformative that I returned to graduate school in my 40s to pursue a new path—helping others create meaningful change in their own lives. Today, with more than 13 years of clinical experience, I help adults navigate trauma, relationship challenges, addiction recovery, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, affirming, and practical. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to take risks, and empowered enough to move toward the life you want. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

My ideal client is someone who recognizes that life presents with many challenges and understands that receiving help is not a sign of weakness, rather it is strength. Those life challenges maybe due to stress, health issues, family conflicts, or something more, but they are looking to identify, process, and gain needed support and skills to conquer those challenges. They are looking for someone who will encourage them, keep them accountable, and be open and honest with them. I feel that therapy is more than an occupation for me, rather it is a calling. I will be a listening ear, support, encourager, and support for my clients. I believe that encouraging is a gift which I possess and freely give, and when my clients are going through some of their toughest battles, understanding that they are not alone really matters. There are many different providers who are looking to support and help clients, which is good, because finding the right provider absolutely makes a difference. I want to be a support, sounding board, and ally to work through crisis, challenges, and even give a different perspective. Life is hard, but finding the right provider should not be.

Growth is rarely linear, and we’ll navigate that journey together with intention and compassion to help you get lasting change.

I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy is a space where we can work together to better understand your experiences, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful change.

My goal is to help you feel supported and empowered as you work toward becoming more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create.

I want my clients to consider therapy THEIR time, and I hope they leave sessions feeling a little more hopeful, heard, unburdened and ready to get back to their lives.
